IVY Smart

First camera was easy to set up. Second one had to reset and add a few times before it started to work, but once working it is a decent camera. It's only a 2MP camera so the picture isn't the greatest, but good enough to order more since they are so cheap but work well for the price point.

IVY Smart works great with my IVYIOT cameras. The live view is smooth and I love the PTZ control feature. Being able to pan and tilt the camera from my phone is incredibly convenient for monitoring different areas of my home. The app is intuitive and the setup was straightforward with the QR code method.

Downloaded this app to keep an eye on my dogs while at work. The motion detection alerts are timely and the video quality is decent for the price of these cameras. The two-way audio lets me talk to my pets which they seem to respond to. Wish the app had better notification customization options.

Good basic security camera app. I have three IVY cameras around my house and the multi-device management works well. The family sharing feature is nice so my wife can also monitor the cameras. Night vision could be better but for free cameras with no subscription required, it's hard to complain.

After trying several camera apps, IVY Smart surprised me with how reliable it is. The Bluetooth pairing made setup much faster than other apps that only use Wi-Fi scanning. The recording schedule feature helps manage storage on the SD card. Great value for a completely free app with no hidden subscription costs.

Very useful with young kids and elders. Video and audio are very clear, and the response time is instant. The cool part I like is when the kids call while home with grandparents, both myself and my wife's phone ring at the same time. Hopefully they will add a video merging feature in the future.

Simple and effective camera app. I was worried about complicated setup but the Bluetooth discovery found my camera immediately and connected in under two minutes. The live view loads fast and the PTZ control is smooth. No monthly subscription required which is a huge plus compared to other brands.

Solid app for monitoring my small business after hours. I have two PTZ cameras and the alert system works well for detecting motion. The recording schedule feature lets me set specific times for recording. Only giving 4 stars because the app could use a landscape mode for tablets.

The app works fine for basic monitoring. Camera quality is okay for the price. My main complaint is the initial Wi-Fi setup can be tricky if your router uses both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Once I switched to 2.4GHz only, everything connected fine. The Alexa integration works but is basic.

Best free camera app I've used. No annoying subscription popups, no premium features locked behind a paywall. Everything just works. The family sharing feature means my whole household can check the cameras. PTZ control is responsive and the night vision on my outdoor camera is clear enough to see my entire backyard.
